[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
I'm still a little confused. I know jailbreaking and rooting is different. But just for the sake of explaining myself, I jailbreak my iphone and get Cydia. Are these apps, specifically the ps3 controller, downloadable through the android market/ another market/ or right off the developers site?

Basically if I root my device, do I have to search the web for custom ROMS (I know none are available now, or at least any good one) or is there another market to search through like cydia?

EDIT: I know you can tether, but I am almost positive it is impossible to tether any android device to an ad hoc network. At least my Xoom will not see my ssid, and even trying to manually add this information, the Xoom will insist it can't see the router (or in this case my jailbroken 3gs from att). If I am wrong and it can be tethered to ad hoc networks without rooting PLEASE inform me how. Also if I am right and you can't, can someone please explain to me why not. Why would rooting your device allow you to connect? Why can't it without rooting? I know there is probably a reason behind it, but with the knowledge I have, I cannot come up with any good reason on why it just can't connect to the ad hoc network.
[Xoom General] firepacket:
I'm sorry, but that is not reasonable. We are talking about a hardware upgrade. Nobody is asking them to touch the software.

If they don't want to install the drivers, that's fine - but they have no right to deny us the hardware we were promised at purchase due to software modification.
[Xoom General] nindoja:
Apps that take advantage of root permissions are available through both the android market and from developers' websites. A perfect example of this is the SuperuserPermissions application. You can get it here (on XDA) or in the Market.

I think you may be confused on the terminology here. With regard to tablets and phones, when we say we are "tethering" it means we use the device's 3G (or 4G) data connection to create an internet connection for another device (usually a Laptop or other mobile device). This connection can either be over USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth. USB, Bluetooth, and WiFi tethering are possible on the Xoom without root, although on other devices it previously required root (unless your device had a wireless hotspot option which your carrier charged you extra to use).
[Xoom General] th0r615:
Heres a good link that explains Custom ROMs and Rooting.

And probably the most popular custom ROM is Cyanogen Mod.. heres a little blurb from their website.

Hopefully once Honeycomb's source is posted, they will take it and apply their "mods" and tweaks to it and release a new version for our tablet. (which is likely since it has an unlocked boot loader.)

Now regarding the 4G upgrade not being applied to rooted devices.. theres a easy work around. Once it comes time to send it to Moto, simply flash everything back to stock and relock the bootloader. Moto won't even be able to tell that anything has been done to it. Then once you get it back with its fancy new LTE radio installed, unlock the bootloader again and go ahead and re-root it. :)
[Streak 5 General] futurama:
The chrome circle around the dell on the back of my phone came off and got sticky adhesive in my pocket. (no jokes please)

Further example of dells cheap questionable build

Ive never had a badge come off any previous phones.

Anyone else?
[Streak 5 General] technillion:
Yep. The second "L" dropped off mine about 2 weeks ago. I found it originally and put it back. A few days later, it was gone again...this time for good so I pulled off the "DEL" and the ring. Now my Streak has gone "commando"...kinda like the all black though...not really a "bling" person.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Hahah I'm sorry I couldnt help but laugh.
[Streak 5 General] chrisrotolo:
mine too,

mine reads ...Dvl missing last L and top 2 lines of E.

rubbish.
[Streak 5 General] cheetah2k:
I actually took mine back to Optus and demanded a replacement - which they did :D Now I've got the Dell clear back cover on it, so I can't jag the logo on entry to my pocket which avoids it getting all sticky in there :p
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
clearly your dvl steak is a cheap knock-off :D

It happens, if you rub hard enough, even the ink would come off an iPhone's back (ones before i4 of course) Lettering on my old 3g is duller then when it was new, and I took really good care of it.

Personally i'd rather have a phone with an inset logo on metal than worry about another soft plastic phone. Perhaps you should think about intentionally peeling off the rest of the logo if it's already going. Might look good
[Streak 5 General] futurama:
Just took it all off now. Looks good just black embossed.

Stil dell need to make improvements for streak 2 but im def concidering buying again.
[Streak 5 General] treylemkn:
Mine too has come loose. Anyone actually called Dell and asked for a new back?
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
If dell don't provide the support then just turn to the web for a new back plate. :)
[Streak 5 General] treylemkn:
Don't want to buy one when they should fix the problem. Just wondering if anyone has tried Dell customer service to do so.
[Streak 5 General] metatron723:
Mine came off as well. I cleaned the glue off with some windex and it looks better without the chrome!
[Streak 5 General] Made2Last:
I just last an L last week. Annoying.
[Streak 5 General] :
My DELL Logo is gone too....doesnt look too bad but im going to visit a paintshop soon....any color/pattern/design suggestions? Will post pictures when done!

Keep having fun with the new "Deep Black" Streak ;)
[Streak 5 General] c1utch:
hah, I took this off the first week... I had done it on my xps years ago too.

looks better, not so flashy.
[Streak 5 General] Crinos512:
I did a little preemptive mod where I slapped a square of clear packing tape over the logo as soon as I noticed a loose 'L'

... this would look crappy but for the Otterbox case covering all of the ugly edges.
[Streak 5 General] the_paranoid_android:
I was never a big fan of the chrome/shiny logo. I took it off my white streak at work with an exacto knife whilst reading this thread and then my black streak when I got home... Much better :D
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Just removed mine on my red streak. I still have indents for the circle and the letters. Looks much better

Getting annoyed lately when people ask me what phone i have. I tell them it is one of 20 that can contact the president
[Streak 5 General] sacredsoul:
Mine is a red Streak. The backplate is pretty loose and i was pretty drunk too. Pulled it out from my pocket, the backplate flew out. The 'D' got out. Pulled out the rest too. Its just plain red at the back now. Pretty hot.
[Streak 5 General] Cypher84:
Came off my black streak about a month ago, first the ring, then the letters, just cleaned off the glue and looks ok. Should have been printed on I guess, the backplate is pretty flexible so wasn't much chance of that logo staying put.

Has dell started servicing streaks yet? I wanted to replace the plastic housing cos its looking a bit worse for wear..
[Streak 5 General] ruben__:
Yeah I know the feeling. My second L did also came off.

I used the plastic from a screenprotector to cover it and it did work. Now I have a full body screenprotector....so problem solved :D
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] spike5488:
i have a question, i paid cricket to fully flash my droid 2, but i still dont have market access and it still says verizon on phone info. So is it actually fully flashed or just unlocked? Also, i tried to put a rom on my droid 2, the gummybear rom, and it put my phone into a bootloader mode and almost bricked it. i have the following apps: any cut, Astro, Droid 2 bootstrap, ES file Explorer, Rom manager, and the Z4root. Is there anything i am missing to upload a rom. Thanks
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] newk8600:
I'm confused do you have a D2 or a D2 G? This is the D2 Global section and it's the android development section at that. General is where you should be asking questions save development for development breakthroughs and etc. .
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] niteinvegas:
Can someone send the link to swype cab EN for htc hd mini plz.. Im dyin all day not findin a suitable cab dat works..
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
Swype = WAREZ

not allowed in XDA

please read the full forum rules before posting
[Galaxy Tab General] fwelland:
Obligatory SGT content: i am using the xda premium app (1.0.x) on my jmiv2 SGT. works well. I would say it works super really well if someone could tell me:

Where is the 'mark forum as read' feature in this app?

Maybe a little off topic, sorry. So here is some on topic content: my SGT been bery bery good to me. Go buy one.
[Galaxy Tab General] fwelland:
Found it. It is in a wonky place IMHO. Click 'latest' on tool bar and then the menu button has a 'mark forum as read'.

Which forum?

It seems to mark all of xda as read. This option is not available while you are 'in' a forum?? It is workable for now, but in the web ui i can mark, as example, "SGT General" as read, and this does not affect.my read status in N1 or its sub forums. That is what i am looking for.

Maybe i am doing it wrong. . .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] miedy12:
hi guys how to show my contacts on GO SMS even my contacts didint recognize with GO SMS but stock messaging recognized it TIA
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Omnichron:
try SyncMyPix to sync your contacts in gmail with your facebooks contacts. After that they should show up in go sms.:)
[Droid 2 Global General] swest6602:
Hi all, A co-worker has the Droid 2 and is about to receive her 3rd one in the mail tomorrow. The problem is that text messages are randomly cut-off or garbled to SOME people. I cannot seem to find anything to help her. The issue is not related to the size of the message (i.e. SMS converting to MMS) as it has occurred with one word texts as well as larger messages. Her D2 is stock. The recipients with issues have older (1 or 2 year old VZW phones. Guessing they are dumb or feature phones, but not sure). Here is what we've tried:

Example of a 1 word text: So I sent a text that said “busy?” and it came through to the recipient as “bus”

1. Turn off auto-correct in settings

2. Auto-Signature in settings is not checked (thought that might auto convert to MMS)

3. Switch to Handcent from stock messaging app. Same problem

4. Delete the contacts having trouble and then soft re-set the phone. Then add the contacts back in.

5. Replaced phone; same problem new phone.

6. Remove apps and replace one by one. Thought she had some luck with a camera app, but no go. The issue recurred without the camera app on the phone (have told her to check the camera apps settings to see if there is anything that could be adding pics to text messages without her knowledge. That would turn the message into an MMS. Long shot but worth a look.)

I feel like somehow all of her text messages are being converted to MMS but I cannot find any setting that would be causing this to occur. Cannot think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas?
[Droid 2 Global General] -Gilgamesh-:
I would try doing a factory reset without installing ANY extra apps, and see if it still happens. If it works, then slowly start installing apps until it starts again and you've found the issue. If it doesnt fix it at all, then I'd SBF and try as above. If still doesnt work then it's likely an issue with your carrier or maybe their carrier. (Person getting them)
[Nexus One General] Kimd41:
Does this bug happen to anyone else? It has happened twice since I installed Gingerbread.

[YOUTUBE]uUMjpulzKps[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus One General] jm1999:
not me! never seen anything like that. Reflashed? full wipe? try different rom?
[Nexus One General] cymru:
I couldn't replicate it
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Also can't replicate it.
[Nexus One General] phantomgrave:
That has happened to me once. I just had to open an app then press the home button and everything worked fine again. Not sure how to replicate the glitch though.
[Nexus One General] Kimd41:
You can't replicate it, it's random. I just touched the screen to show that touchscreen is calibrated correctly.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I haven't seen that on my N1, but this also isn't the first time I have heard of this problem.

My theory is it is some app people have installed causing the flickering...

What if you factory reset the device? Does it still do it then?
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
Some people were reporting graphic glitches in the launcher after running Angry Bird Seasons. I haven't used that one yet, just regular Angry Birds.
[Nexus One General] alberic000:
Never tried on the stock launcher but the same thing happened to me 80% of the time with LauncherPro when i used 3D drawer (the same effect as on stock launcher)

Since i disabled it (3D drawer effect) everything work fine.
[Nexus One General] IceNova:
ive had this issue, it seems to be only with the stock OTA, im not sure how it happened but i can attest to this being a bug that happens to a n1 with full wipe and nothing on it.
[Nexus One General] SarcasticOne:
same for me :(
[Nexus One General] anawong:
Yes.

I used to disable all the animation for my N1.

after upgrade to 2.3.3, it happened twice.

I thought it is the issue of the animation, maybe.

So, I enable all the animation.

After that, I never see this problem.
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
I've never had this issue. Only thing close is when I go from the 3d app drawer to the home screen my analog clock widget kinda flickers a little, that's the only flickering I've seen on 2.3.3.

Note: this is also random, can't replicate it most of the time.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Yup this happened to me once. And it was after I closed one of the angry birds game. I think it's because closing apps no longer bring you back to the homescreen but to the app drawer. Android probably had some problem re-rendering the app drawer.

I had to go into settings menu and exit for the flickering to go away. I've gone back to CM7 because it's actually more stable than stock gingerbread after what I've seen so far.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Nope. I just opened the app drawer, launches AB Seasons, played a game, exited it, exits back to App drawer, everything is still working fine, no flickering...
[Nexus One General] cjd888:
Yes I get the same thing after launching angry birds seasons from the app drawer only and not if I launch from the home screen
[Nexus One General] midyat47:
Same for me 2. After reboot its ok.
[Nexus One General] brettbellaire:
I have a slightly different problem with the 3D app drawer in LPP. I can flick and it scrolls down, but when I grad to flick again, it jumps back up to the top. I can only get part way down the drawer, and I can't open an app. Non-3D works fine.
[Nexus One General] onesavior:
I have something similar. But not the same. When I close out of any app I just have my background only. Nothing else. After a minute UI shows back up. When I go into settings, I get a black screen until I I swipe my phone up and down.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I've had the Launcher icons not appearing straight away numerous times.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I guess I am lucky. I have never encountered this issue.
[Nexus One General] onesavior:
I wiped data on my launcher (stock) and it seems to be fixed for now
[Nexus One General] tweitzel:
I'm able to replicate the problem (but not always and sometimes only for a few seconds) when I do this:

- start the launcher (stock) and start "Barcode Scanner" (from the market)

- wait a few seconds with the Barcode Scanner active, moving the phone

- press back button

Sometimes the problem persists until I start another application. When I leave this other application, everything is back to normal.
[Nexus One General] raymond555:
same here..

only happens when I activate my camera landscape and after I exit the camera it starts flickering...only when using the camera landscape mode.

I stop it by killing the camera with task killer.

stupied google:mad:
[Nexus One General] DaGr81:
ya i have noticed this bug on my nexus one 2.3.3

I was playin some game(my be it was for froyo..previous my nexus had froyo)...afterwards homescreen icons were shaking randomly just like in ur video... Its not a serious bug i guess.. Kill the background apps and it will be ok...coz i did the same..

Regards,
[Nexus One General] xavier7:
same thing happened to me a number of times randomly.

I had to go to "Applications" in the menu settings >> Manage Applications and let the apps refresh themselves, then the glitch would be gone.
[Nexus One General] xavier7:
oh yeah, those of you that have this problem, is there any chance you guys have Darktremor or any other a2sd installed?
[Nexus One General] coreyzw:
Exact same thing happens to me
[Nexus One General] slvrbllt:
It happened to me after quitting TurboFly 3D.

It must be related to 3D graphics somehow...
[Nexus One General] :
I haven't seen this exactly, but I have had a bug where when I select any app icon on the homescreen it's like a reverse of the screen on animation, where the screen gets sucked into the center and goes black..
[Nexus One General] husnain17:
never seen that bug before...
[Nexus One General] jeancharlier:
It happened to me too.

I was playing need for speed :D

It probably has something to do with graphics and landscape mode, idk. :(
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
Happens to me - seems to be a weird 2.3.3 bug that happens ONLY 40 hours into uptime (like, 40 hours after your last reboot)

the 3 times I noticed it, my uptime was 41, 41 and 42 hours... all 3 times my apps started acting weird.

Easy example you guys can test:

- open google maps

- open latitude friends

- see? latitude does not pop up, but it does (in the background) - what I mean by that is you can still click where you THINK latitude buttons are because technically your screen is on the latitude screen... but not visually (you're still on the google maps window)

close google maps and you get a completely black screen. hit power on your phone to "turn off" the screen (it's kinda already off it seems...) then turn it back on and unlock. back to normal

until the next time you try to load latitude...
[Nexus One General] dobrica21:
It heappens on my N1 with 2.3.3 and when i start 'advanced task killer' and kill all apps currently running it stops ...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Woo, I finally experienced the flashing app drawer bug!

It happened after a long Angry Birds Rio session. Seemed to go away on it's own, didn't have to reboot or anything.
[Nexus One General] nayakmalayin:
Flickering launcher

Hi,

I have nexus One and after updating to Android 2.3.4 on Gingerbread OS Official one (NO custom ROMs) I also have same problem.

this only happens when I play any game on it. Angry birds or any other game.

if I run task manager and kill running tasks with task killer it stops.

and Again when I play game it is doing same thing on Gingerbread for Nexus One.:mad:
[HTC Wildfire S] aman_idrish:
Hi

I am using wildfire buzz

2.25.720.1 my build no.

2.6.32.21 kernel ver. India

android 2.2.1

how to root my HTC wildfire

thank
[HTC Wildfire S] DenKofAnd:
if you're using the Wildfire Buzz, then first of all you're in the wrong fora, since there is one for Wildfire Buzz.

And the Buzz version still can't be rooted unless you use XTC clip to set S-off, then downgrade to 2.1, then root with unrevoked.

But all of that are explained in the forum for Buzz.
[HTC Wildfire S] conantroutman:
Hi aman,

First of all, elcome to XDA.

I noticed that you've posted this same question in a few different places, and as DenKofAnd pointed out, you need to ask in the correct forum for your device.

Dont worry about it though, easy mistake to make.

Im going to close this thread as its not relevant to the Wildfire S. Im sure you will be able to find the answer your looking for in the wildfire section though.

Good luck and happy flashing :D
